Sociology
Comte’s term ‘positivism’ refers to:
a theory that emphasizes the positive aspects of society
the precise, scientific study of observable phenomena
a theory that posits difficult questions and sets out to answer them
an unscientific set of laws about social progress
the precise, scientific study of observable phenomena
One of the pioneers of social theory was Auguste Comte, who invented the term ‘sociology’ and defined it as a ‘positive science’ of society. Comte saw positivism as the last of three stages in the development of knowledge, and said that it was based on direct observation, the search for causal relationships between phenomena, and theoretical laws to predict events. When applied to the study of society, this means that sociologists should try to be rational, objective, and critical. 24-27
